2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Shiny Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 topics related to the All Star Game to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Before last players are picked Edmonton is the only team that has 4 players selected for the game. Among those only defensive pairing from a single team Isaac Forty-One and Emil Egli. They both were traded to new teams this offseason. Would you let them play one more time with each other or would you highlight them with their new teammates Dirty Boots and Brandan Laroux who also made it to the game?

Reunite the squad!
It could get a little awkawrd I suppose, but just think of the feel good story, the tv crew could even do a first look type photo with the former d pairing. I certainly hope I'm never traded away against my will and find my self in this kind of situation. 54 Words

Code:
b. Inferno and Panthers got to send two forwards each, Shōyō Hinata and Binko Koivu from Atlanta and Adam Prpich and Derek Martin from Los Angeles. Would you let them show of their chemistry and potentially dominate the game by letting them play on the same line or is All-Star game prime opportunity for them to show their creativity and skill even when playing with other top players?

Hell yea I would let them play together. Assuming of course they are normal teammates. As I have mentioned below the score of the game doesn't matter one little bit, so why not let the players showcase their chemistry. I'm hoping my player gets an unfortunate sickness so I can skip out and head to Mexico for a week! 59 Words

Code:
c. Should the starting goaltender be the one who arguably had better season? Or as the stakes aren't as high as usually would you think it is better to offer the experience for the goalie who has had less appearances? Or maybe honor the one who has had more? Who should start and why?

Goalies don't matter in the regular season so why on earth would they matter here? Play each goalie a period, who cares? let them all touch some ice and let some beachballs past them as it's clear they aren't trying. Maybe give the goalie with the best save $1M or something that they can atleast somewhat compete for. 58 Words

4. Written, 2 TPE, Participation Trophy (100 words min.)

Currently every team gets to send at least one player to the All-Star game. Are this seasons selections good in terms of team variety? Would you prefer more even selection from all of the teams or more focus to be put on individual performances despite the teams they represent? Do you think it is important for each team to get representation?

I do think that it is important for every team to get some recognition the all star game. After all we have an end of season All Star team that should be composes of the best of the best. The all star game is all about coming together to celebrate the sport, and lately sell all star jerseys as the game itself doesn't matter, and most players would rather just have a week off to enjoy on a beach somewhere.
Everything is about money anyways. so why not make it an even spread across the league so more people have an opportunity to spend $200 on your new shitty made trash quality product that can surge your quarterly revenues!
